- Named a Best New Book of 2021 by Vogue and Refinery29Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Lit HubNamed one of 5 Hot Books by The National Book ReviewLonglisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for a Debut Short Story CollectionFor a friend who needs a reminder that love is weird, humans are complicated, and bad things often get better or at least later become funny stories to tell our friends. ―Vanity FairA sharp, witty book about brilliant, broken women that are just the right amount wrong.Whether diving into complicated relationships or wrestling with family ties, the girls and women who populate this collection―misfits and misanthropes, bickering sisters, responsible daughters, and unhappy wives―don't always find themselves making the best decisions. A woman struggles with a new kind of love triangle when she moves in with a divorced dad. A lonely teenage beach attendant finds uneasy comradeship with her boss. A high school English teacher gets pushed to her limits when a student plagiarizes. Often caught between desire and duty, guilt and resentment, these characters discover what it means to get lost in love, and do what it takes to find themselves again. Utterly singular and wholly unforgettable, Emma Duffy-Comparone's stories manage to be slyly, wickedly funny at even their darkest turns and herald the arrival of an irreverent and dazzling new voice.

Anthologies Editorial Review
Love Like That: Stories by Emma Duffy-Camparone is a high-quality read Consisting of quirky characters and great humor. The collection explores how complicated love is and how women navigate various situations in life. Each story contains pure and raw emotion which provoke genuine feelings of ambivalence, despair, nostalgia, and fear. The stories make readers laugh, cry, smile, and reflect. The descriptions and details in each story are well-written and entertaining. The writing is also thought-provoking, hopeful, and empowering but does not offer platitudes or formulaic storylines. The author's faith in all her characters encourages people, both young and old. The collection does not always offer closure, but it allows readers to continue pondering about the characters' situations. The three different types of narrators offer a unique perspective in each story. Duffy-Comparone's debut is unique, and the writing is top-notch and admirable. It is a book that people will claim to have read in the future.
